    Well said. If you’ve ever been next to someone at an indoor range firing large caliber rounds without a suppressor, it’s very unpleasant to be near them if you’re plinking 9mm or 22lr.

    I support taking supressors off the NFA (and also abolishing the NFA altogether, but that’s another argument). Calling them silencers is incorrect. They’re safety devices. Some states don’t even classify them as firearms. Any supersonic round is still loud enough to require ear protection.

      YES. That is the most annoying shit ever. I’m just tryna have a good time practicing good technique with a handgun and I have to sit and listen to some moron spray hundreds of dollars worth of ammo away so they can feel like they’re the coolest dude at the range. Then they leave and we all look around at each other like “thank fuck that asshole is finally gone eye roll emoji
